This compound, MGITC, is used in scientific research to study intracellular signaling mechanisms, particularly in processes related to inflammation and immunity. It is a specific inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC), which plays an important role in regulating the function of various cells, including immune cells. Additionally, it is used in the study of cancer cell functions and responses to drug treatments, as PKC is involved in the growth and survival of cancer cells. Therefore, MGITC helps in better understanding these mechanisms and may lead to the development of new treatment methods in the future.
